Thread Sewing

Thread Sewn Binding (also known as Section Sewing) is ideal for high-quality, long-lasting publications and those that you must be able to open flat, without them splitting along the spine – such as brochures, catalogues and annual reports.

We fasten the book sections together through the spine fold with thread, apply hot EVA glue or PVA glue, if a rounded spine is required. A spine lining is then applied before the cover is then wrapped around the book block.

This method of binding can also be used for hardback books & paperback books.

With over 100 years combined experience in section sewing, our expertise is unrivalled. All our section are hand fed ensuring attention to detail and quality.

This method of working is ideal for smaller runs, over size non-standard products and that special one off item.
